A Chorus Line is full of energy, laugh-out-loud humour, great dancing and affecting drama. It is also something of a mood piece, relying on mostly unrelated character backstories to populate the loosest of narratives.

Syncopation is a sweet show. The title promises something a little offbeat, but in the end turns out to be quite a traditional romance, a fun show set in pre-war New York.

I can say with all honesty that Wayne Brady is one of the most incredibly talented (and hilarious!) entertainers I have ever seen. Ever.

Even after all these years, 'the Duck' hasn't been deboned. Galapagos Duck, that is. One of the synonyms for Australian jazz, even (or especially) for people who know nothing about jazz.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
